A Counter Request.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Justice Batemon
e. Co., wool commission merchants OF
Philadelphia, in letter to the Inter State
Commerce Commission express the hope
that Section will not be suspended as
regards trans-continential lines. The pro-
tests against the long and short haul they
sav, come from parties who have heretofore
enjoyed the greatest benefits from cut
rates and who have h ad an unfair
advantage. For instance, last year mer-
chants OF San Francisco had rate OF SO
cents per hunnred pounds on wool while
dealers and growers located several hundred
miles further East had to pay
from So to $3.50 per 100 pounds. II that
was shipped direct to the East There is
wool, they say, now in Philadelphia. grow"
in Montana, which the railroads forced to
be sent thence via San Francisco, making
q haul OF 1000 miles, while, if shipped di.
rect, it would have Travelled only 2.0"O
miles. The object OF the discrimination
was to give the San Francisco merchants
an opportunity to exact toll before it
reached it's natural destinati IN.

clause on Pacific Coast traffic provided

Valley be made proportionately less than
from the Atlantic seapoard as has been the
case in the past.

it's behalf. A singular petition was con-
tained in the address by the attorney OF
the A. T. & s. F. railroad, also by General
William Belknap, representing the St. Louis
& Santa Fe road. The competition of
steamship routes was the principal occa-
sson. The petitions gave notice that Judge
Dillon, representing the Union Pacific would
be here tomorrow. Geo. Gray, attorney
of the Northern Pacific railroad addressed
the Commission. He said that in an ex-
animation OF the fourth section he had
reached the conclusion that railroads
should not take it upon themselves to
determine what constituted similar clrcum-
stances and conditions and filed a petition
substantially similar in parport to those
presented by the Southern Pacific.
J. E. Searles, of New York, representing
sugar refiners of the East, including the
St. Louis refners, entered aprotest against
the grating of the San Francisco re6ners'
petition.
Mr.. GAIT, representing the Clipper line Of
Sutton & Co., said railroad companies
were now engaged in trying to have the law
suspended. If they knew the law would
not be suspended they would be engaged in
carrying out it's provisions in a way to
make them successful. He asked that the
law be not suspended in the general way
asked for, but that roads be made to fix
fair rates and he would like the privilege
Of examining witnesses to show what
would be fair rates. Further hearing up
on the Pacific line petition was then post
poned until tomorrow.

Bald Knobbers in Limbo,

OZARK: Mo-, April 21.-The Bald Knob
bers' situation Is becoming more 8 rious
each day. Yesterday Charley Graves, a
prominent member of the midnight raiders,
related story of the raids he had at
tended, giving the names of the men who
had accompanied him. He fixed the mur-
der Of Geo. Edens on John Matthews. On
the first assault on Eden's house George
was shot down but not killed. After ran
sacking the house the masked men retired,
and Georges mother was holding his
head. While he was laying on the floor a
man appeared at the door and took de-
Gberate aim at the wounded man and put
a ball through his heart. Graves says he
met Matthews coming from the house and
says he heard him say he was mad because
he was only wounded in the back of the
head, and had returned to the house to
finish the work. George Edens, Parson
Simons and Will Newton want to make
confessions to save themselves, but the
refuse to accept them, as they
say now they have enough testimony.
